AD VANCED PLACEMENT/DUAL ENROLLMENT

Dual Enrollment Dual enrollment courses must be creditable to high school graduation. Students should see their School Counselor for dual enrollment course recommendations and approval. The principal reserves the right to final approval for all dual enrollment courses. Students who take dual enrollment courses will be subject to SSC prerequisites such as a PERT/SAT/ACT test score and/or GPA requirements.

Advanced Placement Advanced Placement Courses are designed for students who wish to pursue college level work while still in high school. Based on the results of the Advanced Placement exams administered in May, college credit may be awarded by participating colleges and universities. College admission officers highly recommend participation in Advanced Placement courses. According to College Board, the organization that provides the AP program, “students who participate in AP are ultimately given the responsibility to reason, analyze, and understand for themselves. Such intellectual training inevitably helps them succeed in college, where these skills are essential.” Several of the Advanced Placement courses offered at Winter Springs High School require summer reading. It is recommended that students check with the instructor or visit the school website before making their course decisions.
